NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah recently reported sources telling him Darnold could end up staying not just one, but two more seasons at USC. While Darnold doesn’t appear to be in a hurry to leave the Trojans, he’s not sure where such information came from:

Darnold’s fantastic run in 2016 is definitely worth the hype, as is his NFL-ready frame and skill set. But while it would be a surprise to see him skip the 2018 draft if he’s in the No. 1 overall conversation, we’ve seen stranger things before.
